Trying Something New

I have a temporary job that has kept me busy this week. I've always wanted to try working in a flower shop, so a week or two ago I called around asking if anyone needed extra help for Valentine's day. I actually got a couple of interested shops and have been working at Flowers On High this week! I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I've really enjoyed the people that work there and the many various tasks I've learned, or at least tried to learn! I've even done a few small flower arrangements, although not without help and guidance. Tonight at home I took an order for a friend of Jeff's who is afraid he didn't order in time to get something for his girl. My boss will be happy when I show up to work tomorrow with an order in hand! :)

One of the best parts is that I'm crossing something off my "things I want to do... someday" list. How cool is that? I am kind of proud of myself for pursuing something just for the sake of trying it.

If I'm too tired to write again before Saturday, Happy Valentine's Day!

That is so cool! When did you write you list and how many things are on it? I'd love to see it if you wouldn't mind bringing it to our girls' weekend to share!

I've actually never sat down and written a list, although I've considered it. It was just one of those things I've had in the back of my mind. I've told Jeff a hundred times "I would love to work in a flower shop"...

I agree with Alenna... that is very cool!
And along these lines, here's a book recommendation - "The Next Thing on My List".

Thanks Alvana! And I'll check out the book. :)
